The Senate Adhoc Committee investigating the invasion of the National Assembly has began its hearing as the committee summoned the FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr Wilson Inalegwu, to explain why he ordered the National Assembly Divisional Police Officer to invade the complex.
On November 20th, the police stormed the National Assembly firing teargas in an attempt to prevent the Speaker Aminu Tambuwal from gaining access to the assembly complex.
However in a surprising twist, the Divisional Police Officer attached to the complex , Mr. James Idachaba, accused the security details attached to Senate President David Mark, of firing the tear gas in the National Assembly complex.
Mr Idachaba also told the committee that the instructions to close the gates on that day was based on a directive he received from the Federal Capital Territory Command.
